Frequently Asked Questions
How does a jet drive work?
Water is drawn into the unit through the intake grill by an impeller, driven directly by the engine driveshaft. The water is then forced at high pressure through an outlet nozzle creating thrust that drives the boat forward. To obtain reverse, a gate lifts into position over the outlet re-directing the pressure stream in the opposite direction.
How high should a jet outboard be mounted on my boat?
The jet outboard should be mounted about 6 inches higher than a propeller motor.
How will I know if I have a long shaft or short shaft motor?
On a short shaft motor, the transom is 15″-16″ tall. On a long shaft motor, the transom is 20″-21″ tall.
What do I need to know to get the right jet kit?
You will need to know your year model, if it is a long or short shaft motor, and if it has remote or tiller steering.
Can you put a jet on a motor smaller than a 25hp?
No. A 25 horse power is the smallest jet they make.
How much performance will I lose when I install a jet on my outboard?
Typically, about 30 percent.
